North Carolina Football: The Over/Under

This article is the next in a series of articles in which the Confidential selects the over/under for football wins in 2014.  We’ll take a cursory look at the schedule and determine what we think is the point where folks will struggle to select “over” or “under.”  We hope people will share their comments as to “why” they are going over/under.  If you disagree with our over/under choice, of course, feel free to let us know too.  The sixth team up: North Carolina.  We are going with an over/under of 6.5.

Here is the North Carolina schedule:

Likely losses: Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami, Virginia Tech

Likely wins:  Liberty, San Diego State, East Carolina, NC State

Toss-ups: Georgia Tech, Virginia, Pitt, Duke

North Carolina is tough to read.  Other than Liberty, one could make the case for every game being a loss if the right circumstances happen.  On the other hand, every game could be a win also.  Just a wide open slate.  We have to figure they will lose at least 4 games though, while winning at least 4 games.  The specific 4 games are hard to determine.  The Heels could lose to East Carolina, but beat Virginia, etc.  We think that Larry Fedora will take advantage of the talent and get this team to bowl eligibility.  We’ll say 6.5 is the over/under.

What do you think?  Let us know on here or on Twitter @ acconfi.
